How to survive the flight to Salem?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Salem could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
  • The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Salem?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Salem quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

  • Have your boarding pass and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
